I am going to order one of these but there are two tops, a flip top and a pull top, cannot see an illustration of the flip top so just wonder which top is best for me. I intend to fill other bottles from it rather than drink straight from it. Advice please

I bought the flip top and it has to be kept upright to fill other bottles you need to fit it with a piece of flexible tubing and sqeeze the water through

Definitely the pull top one.

I now have managed to see  a flip spout picture but the pull top seems the one. Is it easy to squeeze the bottle and fill others. In the past I have had the similar Katadyn Extream which was not easy to get water out.

I do have Drinksafes In line filter but I for multi day trips I find it clogs fairly quickly and the gravity feed set up I use is slow; if I could sort that out getting the Travel Tap would be a bit of luxury.

I have both and can honestly say that the flip top is a big improvement on the older pull-top design.

It makes filling other containers much easier, the flow rate seems better to me, and the filter is situated at the bottom of the bottle which allows you to get at those last few drops of water.

I have not found that I need to keep it upright to fill other containers and the design does make this process much easier.
